a Tough Deal All Around.

A stranger went into an Austin res
taurant and ordered a dinner. He
made one or two attempts to eat it, but
was badly defeated. Then he called
the proprietor Of the carayansary,
asked how much the funeral expenses
aggregated, and was told ''tifty cents. "
He handed over fve-dollar bill, but
when the proprietor was about to re-
turn the change, he refused to accept
it.
"No, sir,'' he said, magnanimously,
'just you take that money and see if
you can hire right hungry man with
it to eat that dinner. IL he strikes for
higher wages just draw on me. If he
dies I'll pay the funeral expenses.
The proprietor of the caravansary
now says that he put up a job on him.

We came opposite Selma Kroo about
ten a. m. The cannon was fired, the
whistle blown, and soon two canoes
were seen coming out in the bay past
the rocks. The ship halted until several
canoes and one larger boat came along
side and took the colored passengers
and baggage to be landed. Several
came on board, some wearing hats, some
shirts, some loin cloths, and many were
entirely nude. One had ivory bracelets,
necklace and tattoo marks, but was
naked. We stopped often along this
shore to take on negroes who were going
to Loanda and other points, some to
work on railroads. Their wardrobes
were very scanty. One man had hat
on, a pipe in his mouth, and string
around his waist Que quite intelligent

OBITUARY.

The death of little Mabel Stonebreak-
er, daughter of Riley and Elizabeth
Stonebreaker, of Bristol, which occurred
the Goth of June, after a brief illness,
caused sorrow in the hearts of I'll who
knew her. Her funeral services were
held at her home June 22d, Rev. E. 0.
Thayer officiating. A large assemblage
of relatives and friends were present to
pay the last tributes of love and respect
to Mabel. She was bright, beautiful
child, loved by all who knew her. The
place which she held in the hearts of
her schoolmates was shown by the
sorrow depicted in the little faces that
gathered around the casket to take the
last look on earth at their little play
mate. Mable's brief life of ten years
has made sunshine in the home where
now the shadow reigns. But " God will
wipe all tears away" How she will be
missed in her home by her sorrowing
parents no words can express. They
have the heartfelt sympathy Of all who
know them. Mabel bore her illness
with great patience, telling her mother
not to cry for her and she would not
complain. Shortly before her death
she said, Mamma, feel as if some
thing grand is going to happen to me. =
She has gone to God, whom she loved SO
well, and we know
"a glorious rest has our darling
From the sufferings of earth and its paiEs;
We weep, but we have the assurance
Our loss is her infinite gain.
For oh it is only the casket
That lies hid in the grave from our eyes,
The beautiful part-the immortal
Triumphantly passed to the Skies"

THE FOURTH IN KENOSHA.

Notwithstanding the threatening as
pect of the weather on Monday morn
ing, large number of people from the
country towns came into Kenosha to
celebrate the one hundredth and
eleventh anniversary of American indie
pendence.
About nine o'clock the clouds broke,
and what an hour earlier promised to
to be a wet day, proved to be as fine a
day for the occasion as could be de-
sired.
The main feature of the day was the
celebration in Central Park, under the
auspices of st. James congregation.
Fred. S. Lowell Post, G. A. r., the St
Michaels Young Mems Society, the
Owl Club, the Ancient Order of Hi.
bernians, and several hundred citizens
assembled on Market Square, where
they formed in procession, and, headed
by the National Cornet Band, marched
to the park. Mr.. Geo. Hale was Mar
shall of the day, and Mr.. James Penne
feather Assistant Marshal.
The exercises at the park were opened
with music by the National Cornet Band
which was followed with song, :" Hal
Columbia" by the glee class Of st
James school. The class evinced goos
training.

Cleary, who is AN eloquent and fluent
| speaker, occupied over an hour and a
half in the delivery of his address. Il
was mastery effort, and was attentive,
ly listened to. His subject was the
Labor Problem 1t would be useless
for us to attempt to give synopsis oft.
The exercises closed with the song
America" by the glee class
Mayor Stemm officiated as Master oil
Ceremonies.
After the intellectual feast the crowd
repaired to the dining tables, which
were loaded down with good dinner,
prepared by the ladies of the congrega-
ton. Over 400 persons patronized
the dinner tables, and the ice cream,
lemonade and cigar stands were patron
lied during the day and evening to the
extent of several hundred dollars.
During the afternoon prize game of
base ball was played in the park between
the Waukegan Blues and the Kenosha
Reserves. The Reserves came out the
vlctors by score of % to IL.
In the evening there was a fine dis
play of fireworks, which was witnessed
by very large number of people.
Taken altogether, the celebration at
the park was the best we have had in
this city for many years, and more
orderly crowd never assembled in the
park.
The German NJ. E. church and Sunday
school gave their annual picnic in Mr..
+. Becker's grove on the 4th. There
was a good attendance and very enjoy
able time was had by all who were pres
ent
The Young Peoples Society of the
German Lutheran church held picnic
at Bain's grove, which was largely
attended. A match game of base ball
was played between the Kenosha Grays
and Maple Leafs, of Racine. 1t was
won by the Kenosha Grays. Score Is
to s. All who attended had good time.
The firemen's picnic at Park City
Gardens was attended by very large
crowd, as was also the ball in Park City
Hall in the evening. The gross receipts
were about 500. The music was fur
nished by Klein's Band, of Racine.
The races at the Balm Driving Park
drew large crowd. Owing to the rain
for several days previous, the track was
somewhat heavy, and none of the horses
made very good time. The 3-minute
race was won by Daisy R. Time, 3:17.
The 2:4O race was won by Clarence.
Time, 2:41. A match race between
Charley Mac and Mollie McKeon was
won by Mollie McKeon. Jay-Eye-See

They had pleasant day, nice grove,
